On Friday, August 7, Take-Two Interactive reported its Q1 2027 earnings. Given how many eyes are closely watching Grand Theft Auto VI — the latest entry in a franchise that Take-Two owns and publishes — ahead of its highly anticipated release, many in the gaming industry were watching this call closely.Key Takeaways: Take-Two Interactive released its Q1 2027 earnings, reporting net bookings of $1.39 billion while maintaining its guidance for the remainder of the fiscal year. Analysts may have been expecting the guidance to elevate due to rising anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI, but the company is still a compelling buy opportunity ahead of the holiday season. The ETF wrapper offers many ways to tackle Take-Two exposure, be it through a thematic approach or a more diversified strategy. The gaming industry giant reported net bookings of $1.39 billion for the quarter. These numbers were not particularly high for the company, but this was not a particular surprise, given that Take-Two didn’t release any big titles from its core franchises during this quarter. Furthermore, the company is maintaining its expectations for both Grand Theft Auto VI’s launch date and quarterly net bookings. Grand Theft Auto VI is still slated to launch on November 19, 2026, and Take-Two reiterates its anticipations for net bookings to sit between $8.0 and $8.2 billion. Considering how popular the Grand Theft Auto franchise is, many analysts were actually expecting Take-Two’s 2027 bookings guidance to be higher. Analysts were also hoping to hear more details about Take-Two’s plans for Grand Theft Auto Online. The online component of Grand Theft Auto V has been largely successful for Take-Two for well over a decade, having released back in October 2013. Given its live service nature, many are obviously still waiting to see how the new Grand Theft Auto incorporates online multiplayer, and Take-Two is remaining tight-lipped about it.

Take-Two is partnering with Netflix to do a preview event for Grand Theft Auto VI later in August, which will inevitably drum up more excitement for the game. Furthermore, this event could finally reveal details about online play. “We believe that Fiscal 2027 will be an inflection point for Take-Two – one that will write an exciting new chapter in our history and provide the foundation for new levels of success and the creation of groundbreaking entertainment experiences,” added Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two Chairman and CEO. Come November, Grand Theft Auto VI will finally hit the market, and will certainly be a significant tailwind for Take-Two in both the near- and long-term. Keeping this in mind, investors might want to consider ensuring they have exposure within their portfolios.

GAMR invests in a variety of different companies across the globe engaged in game development, publishing, and more. Of course, this includes exposure to Take-Two, as of August 7, 2026. The fall and holiday season tends to be a good time for the gaming industry, due to holiday shopping and a plethora of new releases. This could certainly work in GAMR’s favor, and might make the fund a good buy option ahead of time. Alternatively, one could opt for a more diversified play, such as the JP Morgan U.S. Tech Leaders ETF (JTEK A-). JTEK invests in a variety of different tech and tech-focused companies across the U.S., providing broad market cap and sector exposure. Take-Two is a key holding within this fund, as of August 6, 2026. Regardless of which fund one chooses to go for, leaning into Take-Two exposure ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI’s launch may be an opportune play. This game is arguably the most anticipated release of the holiday season, and can help portfolios tap into growth through consumer spending.
